A 23-year-old Nottinghamshire man with Aspergers has told Capital adults need to speak out if they're being abused.

Tim Matthewson, from Retford, was verbally abused by his support worker.

Tim complained straight away and the staff member was dealt with but he's worried others might not be as confident to.

Between 2015 and 2016, Nottinghamshire County Council received 2,700 enquiries about adult abuse.
